Good Morning all, Taking a flower design class at Wegman's today. Hopefully DH will be back since DS has no school today.
Hi Shmu, hope all is well with you .
Nothing much going on, do need to vent about earings I bought for DD and broke. Purchased them on 12/13, thinking I would have them for X-mas (5 days shipping from west coast to east). I bought it from Belle Gray you know Lisa Rhinna owns the store. Very cool stuff and there is a Designer that has some nice silver stuff. Well never got it for xmas, when I went online and checked the order real small it says orders are shipped in 4-6 weeks. Well while don't they have that when you click on add to shopping cart?? Not after you check out and process. They came mid January, and she wore the hoops maybe twice and I wore them once. I went to put them away and the post was broken off from the hoop. I called on the 15th of Feb. and spoke to Taylor the guy in charge of internet orders. After going through the story he at first is well you've had them for a month. I told him she's had hoops from target that lasted longer and a pair of silver hoops should not break after a month, that I believe it was a weak point in that part of the earing where it broke. He told me he would have to contact the designer and blah blah. He would call me back. Well I never received a phone call and I usually do calls like that in the AM of course they are not open then and finally called last night. Well what a obnoxious twit, he told me that it would have gone to Heather the GM and didn't she call?? Why no, I wouldn't be calling you if she did. I went on to say that a month is long enough, and customer service seems to be lacking. Then he states something to the effect of it wasn't bought in the store it was shipped , well if you don't back the products you sell via the web then don't sell them. He ask how old my DD is and if I think she takes care of her things the way I would at this point I lost it. I'm like listen this isn't the first piece of jewelry she's had, and yes I think she takes care of her stuff that's why a bought her a car too for B-day (okay insert being obnoxious, he deserved it). My gf designs jewelry that she sells to the Ritz/Carlton and they last more then a month. He tells me about his Tom Ford $400.00 sunglasses that the hinged broke like I care, of course case in point I ask did they take care of the problem?? Yes, well exactly do the same this is getting old. I told him to have Heather call and good night. I called Amex and had them take it off the bill and the girl there was so funny, she looked up the designer and gave me the phone # she said call them direct and tell them what's going on. I did and apparently they have had a problem w/the hoops she gave me a ra# to exchange them. So for taylor and making me jump threw 'hoops' over a pr of hoops your not as as you think. There, glad I got that off my chest. Oh by the way I would not recomend buying from there. Just have to add, that having worked in retail half of my life and having had my own store for 9 years, it gets my goat with the lack of customer service these days. Then Companies complain they are not doing well.

ABSOLUTELY unacceptable! what is the matter with them, to think they don't have to replace them or return your money?! ridiculous. i hope you get this resolved, and report them to the better business bureau! i just can't stand the people on the other end of the phone when you have a problem. except of course, disney people! they seem to understand that they NEED to please the customer!

i do hope your flower design class was better, and somewhat relaxing after that terrible ordeal.

Morning everyone!



Wow!!! That really stinks. What did he think your DD was doing with the earrings? Throwing them on the floor and stepping on them? So, he had 400 sunglasses that broke....you should have asked him if he was reponsible enough to take care of them. You are right about customer service....it really does stink alot of the time.

is he responsible enough for $400 sunglasses! did he take care of them?!!! very clever you are dreamin!

tonight i'm off to the "big city" as my DD calls it. staying at the embassy suites, and seeing mary poppins (i'm sooo excited - this is one of my favorite movies, so seeing on stage will be great!), and then the "prom" tomorrow.

i'll miss you all! though i'll be here later before i leave, i'm sure!

don't know? Seems like when I have time to chat, almost everyone else is busy.

 

[MagiKitty]

I'm here! Just playing catch-up from yesterday.

Congrats whgrn for becoming a Dis Vet! So sorry I missed it! Woo-hoo!

Isn't it sad that we kinda expect customer service to be bad and mean? I'm glad that you managed to "beat" the system. I know that being involved in customer relations can be very trying, dealing with people all the time. But doesn't everyone have hardships with their jobs? I hate it when they get snippy with you--its like I need you to help me out with my problem, not be subjected to your not-so-pleasant attitude. I personally am so happy and grateful when I find a friendly face or voice when dealing with companies.

Someone stole my Minnie Mouse Princess antenna topper yesterday in the parking lot. I'm rather steamed about it. Its my second one stolen. I had beautiful gold glitter ears before. How can someone look at my antenna and justify stealing from me? I guess I should just be happy they didn't break my antenna in the process. I don't have a Disney store in my immediate area, so my antenna will have to go naked for a few weeks.

Grrr...I know its silly, but that little bit of pink happiness on my car really brightened my day when I headed out to the car every day.

Have fun magsnden!!! Girls weekend in the big city.
Speaking of I need to do some and get moving before flower class, check back later!!!

I can't believe that, can't they go buy their own. I love my antenna toppers, different ones for different holidays. Did someone steal the gold glitter one too??? I'll tell you people today. A few years ago, someone stole the magnet from my car the yellow ribbon w/support our troops, I mean come on you have to steal that.

 

[dreamin in pa]

magsnden-Mary Poppins is one of our favorites too. The first time the girls saw it, they walked around for a week singing "Let's Go Fly A Kite" I love that they like the older Disney movies too. Of course they thought it was funny that mom saw that too when she was little. Have fun at the "prom"

MagiKitty- I can't believe someone did that!! There is so little respect anymore. We have one that I bought on last vacation but I just can't bring myself to put it on the van. I read on here that it has happened to alot of people and I just know our's wouldn't last too long. Sorry it happened to you too.

 

[MagiKitty]

Have fun magsnden! Did you decide what to wear to the Prom? Now I have "A Spoonful of Sugar" in my head...

Yes, the gold topper was stolen also. It just upsets me so much, the petty meanness of people. And I haven't been able to find the gold glitter ears again (I bought it at WDW two years ago), so now I have to search for something new to put on my antenna. I read a thread a while ago, those of us whose toppers have been stolen, and they recommended putting a stick pin through the topper so when someone tries to remove it they get stuck! It seemed rather mean at the time, but I may consider it if I get another topper...

 

[D&DDisney]

magsnden - Have a great weekend. Tell us all about The Prom.

whgrn - Congrats on the Vet status!!! Had to go tend to the youngins last night and missed it.

disney54us - Just another example of crummy customer service. Don't worry about being obnoxious. You need to be snarky w/ people like that!

magikitty - Sorry about your stolen topper. People are so rude sometimes.

My DS is feeling much better today. He's back at school and so am I.
Talk to ya later!

Can't have that. I have a regular Minnie I would be happy to mail you. My Jeep's name is Patrick and he does not like to wear Minnie! He had a fit last Easter when I put the white bunny ears on him. So he would love to give Minnie a loving home. Just pm me your address.

A belated congrats to whgrn becoming a vet.
disney54us hope you feel better after venting. I feel customer service will get worse as more jobs are becoming service jobs and people who shouldn't be in those types of jobs (like me) take them to pay the bills. (Do I get a prize for a run on sentence? )
MagiKitty Put the pin in the next one. People will steal anything not bolted down.

I may have a extra gold one, god knows where, but I'll try to find it!

Glad DS is feeling better, Customer Service or lack of seems to be more of the norm these days.

Yes you get the prize, Oh but Taylor reminded me how he has 2 degrees, in Business/marketing , so I guess the service industry is where he's meant to be.

We had to keep replacing DMom's minnie antenna topper on her MiniCooper. People loved to steal it. She now has one strung on line hanging on her rearview.

I have a Pirates Mickey ball on my van. There is a hoop through one of the ears. So far, he's stayed on. I hope that you get another soon.

DD home stick. I know she's sick, she's missing a party at school and had to cancel a sleepover for tonight

 

[lighttech]

Can't seem to take a lunch break... I've already re-heated my lean cuisine pizza 3 times (it now officially tastes like cardboard.)

So, no time to chat, but I did catch up on reading anyway!!

Sorry for mean people and sick kiddies. Hope everyone finds a way to brighten their day!

 

[MagiKitty]

Thank you so much everyone for your kind words and offers of generosity! I am more than willing to give loving homes to any toppers that are going unused at the moment. Now I just have to go look for large stick pins. But I feel kinda bad using Minnie as a voodoo topper.

So sorry to hear about the sick little ones. This season has been particularly bad and rampant. So many people getting sick more than once this season. Last year it seemed the flu was more headache and bodyache, this year's has a lot more tummy issus. Poor dears. Get those buckets out and give them lots of love.

I've been nursing a sore throat for nearly a week now and I think its time to fess up and go on some meds. My plans on ODing on orange juice have betrayed me.

 

[dreamin in pa]

Bopsmom- to DD. I hope she feels better soon. I kept DD6 home yesterday. She wasn't real sick but run-down. Many people will not approve but she really needed a rejuvenation day. She's been sick this year but hasn't miss any school because of it. She either got sick on the weekend or when school was cancelled because of snow thie year. I think everybody needs a day now and then just to relax.

lighttech

MagiKitty-take care of that sore throat.

 

[DL55]

Bopsmom and dreamin in pa to your sick DDs
MagiKitty time for the meds.

 

[magsnden]
